Western Frontier Defense Line, Southern Fortress Group, Rock Fortress, Command Center.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Frontier Defense Army, Grandmaster, General "Canglang" Li Huaiyuan, stood silently in front of the huge holographic sand table.
He was tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back. Even though he was wearing a neat general's uniform, he could not hide the murderous aura that came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
His skin was almost bronze, his facial lines were deep, and a hideous tear scar extended from his left temple to his cheekbone, adding a bit of ferocity to his already stern appearance.
At this moment, his eyes, as alert and sharp as a wolf, were fixed on the spreading red spot in the southeast area of the holographic sand table.
The red area representing the abyss monster has completely engulfed the hysteresis zone on the southeast edge.
It was like a pool of dirty blood, slowly and steadily seeping into the trench network behind the lag zone.
After pondering for a few breaths, Li Huaiyuan suddenly turned around and strode back to the command desk. His fingers tapped rapidly on the virtual keyboard, entering a string of codes, and then picked up the communicator.
His voice was low and metallic.
"Zhang Yansheng, I'm Li Huaiyuan."
A calm response quickly came from the other end of the communicator: "Commander."
"I don't care what method you use, organize your people and launch a counterattack for me."
Li Huaiyuan's finger quickly drew a line on the electronic screen of the command desk and synchronized it to Zhang Yansheng's command terminal in real time.
"Keep the Abyss Monster outside this line!"
"I will order the 'Mandrill' mechas of the 32nd Group Army to provide you with accompanying fire support!"
There was silence on the other end of the communication for two or three seconds.
Zhang Yansheng's voice was filled with embarrassment as he said, "Commander, the Third Corps has been fighting for two consecutive days. Nearly one-third of its 3,000-man strength has been lost."
"Almost all the remaining people are injured, making it difficult to organize a counterattack..."
"I only want results, not difficulties!"
Li Huaiyuan's voice suddenly rose, and the scar twitched.
"Don't think I won't deal with you just because you're a member of the Zhang family! Remember, I sent your Third Army there so you can play a role, not so you can bargain with me! Follow orders!"
"......yes!"
Zhang Yansheng had no choice but to accept the order.
Li Huaiyuan cut off the communication and immediately entered the second set of codes without any pause.
"The 52nd Army, immediately end your rest and regroup and reinforce the Southeast Defense Zone at full speed."
"commander!"
The commander of the 52nd Army Group's voice was full of embarrassment.
"Our army has only been withdrawn for over a week. The 140th Mandrill Heavy Armored Division's equipment hasn't been fully assembled yet, and the two light divisions have only been halfway replenished."
"The most crucial thing is that there are a serious shortage of warriors accompanying the army. On average, each company can only get less than three people."
"It's less than three-tenths of the standard staff..."
"Then overcome the difficulties!"
Li Huaiyuan interrupted him without any hesitation.
"The Heavy Armor Division has plenty of mecha fronts, just bring them over!"
"As for warriors... you can station some men at the military depots, assembly points, and airports along the way and recruit some nearby."
"It doesn't matter if we can't find it. The Southeast Defense Zone now has the Third Warrior Corps directly under the headquarters. Together with the remaining warriors from your fifty-second episode, it's more than enough!"
"I command you to set off now!"
After hanging up the phone, he contacted several airports and long-range fire strike groups in the rear.
Order them to tilt their firepower deployment toward the southeast front and give priority to fire support requests in that area.
After a series of orders were issued, Li Huaiyuan was just about to take a breath.
A confidential staff officer with the rank of major ran over quickly and handed over a palm-sized special communicator with a strange look on his face.
"Commander, this is a communication from Huang Zhenshou of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Martial Arts Alliance."
Li Huaiyuan frowned and took it with an unexpected look on his face.
What time is it now?
Hasn’t Huang Lei ever fought on the front lines?
Is sending the communication at this time intentional to cause trouble, or is there really something serious?
In terms of rank, Li Huaiyuan's status is higher than Huang Lei's, and his power far exceeds that of a local garrison commander.
However, guarding the imperial capital is different from guarding other garrisons.
Moreover, Huang Lei has a close relationship with the chairman and is not easy to offend.
He gritted his teeth and put the communicator to his ear, wanting to hear what Huang Dazhenshou wanted to say.
As a result, as he listened, his expression became more and more ugly, and his brows were full of impatience.
Finally, he said perfunctorily, "Okay, I understand," and then cut off the call.
Bang!
He slammed the communicator on the table, his chest heaving violently, and he paced back and forth in anger.
"Huang Lei is truly amazing, very amazing!"
"You took the backdoor and ended up on this bloody battlefield!"
He suddenly stopped and growled at the confidential staff officer.
"Okay, Jiang Xue, right? You still guarantee her safety? Ha! When she gets here, throw her directly into the bunker in the hysteresis zone! I want her to be the first to face the Abyss Monster!"
The confidential staff officer shrank his neck and quickly took out his tablet to record the arrangements.
Just then, the communicator on the table rang again.
Li Huaiyuan cursed softly and didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
But none of the people who can contact him through this thing are ordinary characters.
He spat unceremoniously and answered the call again.
"who......"
He just said one word very rudely...
